Re: checkstyle plugins: maven and eclipse
For the .checkstyle file, I just configured the eclipse prefs UI to point to a http url. It was pretty straightforward IIRC. Just poke through the checkstyle plugin UI. I think I did it in the project specific settings (project properties?). That's what creates the .checkstyle file. Otherwise it's stored in the workspace. On the other point, use build-helper-maven-plugin to deploy the xml file as well as the jar. http://mojo.codehaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/howto.html attach-artifact section has an example. -Greg Jim Sellers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 10/05/2007 08:15:32 AM: Hi Greg.

Re: War resource filtering and excludes problem.
I'm wondering if a whole 'nother approach would work for you. It really
depends on your workflow, but I submit it for your consideration.
Doing 'mvn compile war:inplace' will cause maven to copy the .class files
to web-inf/classes and the pom dependencies to web-inf/lib so that you can
do your gui testing in place. I'd also suggest setting up your source
control to ignore these folders. I've done it with subversion, but don't
recall the syntax.
To go a step further, add those directories to the 'clean' plugin in your
pom like this:
plugin
artifactIdmaven-clean-plugin/artifactId
configuration
filesets
fileset
directory${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/directory
/fileset
fileset
directory${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/directory
/fileset
/filesets
/configuration
/plugin
Now you can do 'mvn clean package' to get a pristine war.
Does that meet your overall goal?

Julian Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 03/02/2007 02:35:48 PM:
I'm actually beginning to think this is not possible with the way the
war plugin currently works. You are always going to have either both
sets of jars, or neither set. The reason is because the war plugin
seems to do its excludes at the last possible moment, so it can't
differentiate between the two sources.
I think the pom snippet which should work is this one:
configuration
warSourceExcludes**/*.jar/warSourceExcludes
/configuration
I execute mvn clean package
In the target folder, in the webappDirectory in maven-war-plugin
nomenclature (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/war-
mojo.html), it creates the perfect webapp (minus the META-INF). That
is, it has everything from src/main/webapp, with the exception of any
jars from src/main/webapp/lib. It does have a lib directory,
assembled from the dependencies in the pom. This is seldom identical
to the lib directory at src/main/webapp/lib, but that's okay (that's
the point, actually). This webapp works perfectly.
Now unfortunately, the war plugin doesn't simply make a war from that
directory it just built. First it wars it, then it grabs all the
files from src/main/webapp again, and then it applies any excludes
(again). So in this situation, I get no jars at all in the lib folder
of the final war file.
That's why if I specify no excludes at all, I get all the jars from
the src/main/webapp/lib and all the jars from the dependencies.
I'm not sure if this should be labeled a bug with the war plugin or
not. I haven't looked at the code - it is all surmised from what it
produces.
I think my best bet might be to do an antrun to move the lib folder
before the war is generated, and move it back afterwards, which is
what I do manually right now.
Thanks,
J

Now when I go to actually build a war using maven, I don't want
that lib nor classes folder - I want the one which maven generates.
In its default state, using version 2.0.2 of the war plugin, what
happens is that you get both sets - in the lib folder for example,
you get everything in my dev lib folder, plus any new snapshots
or new dependencies maven might have downloaded. So usually you end
up with duplicate jars. Not good.
How do you tell the war plugin to ignore src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/
lib and classes (but not ignore the ones assembled during
compilation)?
No matter what configuration I use, it always either ignores both
sets, or includes both sets.

Re: tomcat deployer
Kevin Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 11/15/2006 07:07:38 PM:
The way I've setup things I can see the changed jsp without calling
any maven target. There's more details of my solution here
http://www.nabble.com/Eclipse-war-builder-tf2371898s177.html#a6646490
Another fellow wrote a custom eclipse plugin to help him.
Could you go into more details? I've followed what I could from your
post ^^ but I still cannot get Tomcat to deploy just the context.xml
file and use the target directory as an exploded webapp. My guess is
that I've setup tomcat incorrectly, but a working example of what to
do would be great (I also tried the eclipse war builder thing and
again it didn't work for me).
Here's a writeup I did for the team. I'll do my best to answer any
questions that it doesn't clarify.
Preliminaries
You'll need to edit a file in your tomcat installation to allow access to
the manager webapp. These instructions are based upon tomcat 5.5.17, but
should be similar for any 5.x installation. If not, please update this
wiki once it is figured out.
In {tomcat-install-dir}/conf/tomcat-users.xml add the following:
user username=admin password= roles=tomcat,manager,admin/
inside the tomcat-users element. Go to http://localhost:8080/manager and
undeploy your application if it is already there. Also remove any war
files and directories for your app under the webapps directory. (Re)start
tomcat and you're ready.
Maven Targets
Now you can do:
mvn compile war:inplace tomcat:inplace
as your initial setup. You should now be able to see your deployed app in
tomcat. Editing JSPs in eclipse will be seen immediately upon a refresh of
the web page. If you edit any Java classes that the JSPs depend upon, you
can do:
mvn compile war:inplace
to get tomcat to see the updates.
If at any time your context.xml file changes, you can tell tomcat about it
by doing:
mvn tomcat:inplace
I haven't tried this, but it might be useful to modify the eclipse
settings to direct compiled classes into the WEB-INF/classes directory.
This should remove the need to ever do mvn compile war:inplace since a
compile inside eclipse would put the modified classes there. Then only
when the context.xml file changes would maven need to be involved.
Behind the Scenes
So, how does this work? The context.xml file lives in src/main/resources
and the pom.xml is configured to filter this. That means we can do
variable substitution. The context.xml file uses a variable that is based
upon ${basedir} which maven knows as the directory the pom.xml files lives
within. So, we can use this to tell tomcat to look inside the project
directory for the exploded webapp.
war:inplace is a built-in maven goal that knows to create the exploded
webapp inside src/main/webapp. However, this goal does not have any
prerequisites, so whenever you use it, you must also do a compile (or test
if you want to run unit tests too). war:inplace actually copies the
external jars into WEB-INF/lib and the compiled classes into
WEB-INF/classes, so subversion needs to be configured to ignore these (by
adding a svn:ignore property to the WEB-INF directory ? I've already done
this for SpecialLoans). Additionally, the pom.xml has been modified to
tell the clean target to additionally delete those directories.
There's a feature request in maven that will help simplify some of this,

Re: dependcy vs one lib of jars
That's a great use case to bring up. Sounds like the beginnings of a new plugin. It could parse a project's pom for provided dependencies and retrieve those from maven repository and put them all in a specified dir. Or it could go even further and have a new project type of tomcat-manager that specifies which projects should be deployed in this instance of tomcat. It could retrieve those wars from maven, plus parse for their provided dependencies and populate the shared directory. Maven may not do everything you want out of the box, but I've been impressed with the foundations it is laying and the possibilities. YMMV. Greg Vaughn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Attila Mezei-Horvati [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/25/2006 01:41 PM Please respond to Maven Users List users@maven.apache.org To users@maven.apache.org cc Subject dependcy vs one lib of jars I was reading a lot about how one of maven's best features is the dependency handling: there is no need for a directory of jar files. Everything is specified in the dependency management and the repository has the needed jars. Sounds good. One of my coworkers raised however an issue the other day which I couldn't answer. Any ideas welcome. Here is the story: building with ant, our project had one directory with all the jar files. On our production server the contents of this dir was in the tomcat/shared library (we have several apps running on the servers and they share a lot of the dependencies). Keeping it up to date with new jars was as easy as synching with our ext_libs folder. Now, we use maven. There is no more ext libs folder. The dependencies however are not included in the wars (scope: provided). They are already in the shared lib of tomcat. Question is: how are we supposed to generate the contents of the tomcat ext libs folder at this point? Looking up 100 dependencies from several pom files and extracting the jars from the repository doesn't seem so great. It seems as with the dependency managament suddenly we lost the ease of keeping our production server shared library up to date. I wonder if there is some solution to this.

RE: Maven Noobie - How can I just add a directory of jars to my classpat
There's the teach a man to fish response and the give a man a fish response. I'll try to do a bit of both. I think the deeper question is what are your goals in migrating the project to maven? Most users find the dependency management features of Maven to be one of its strongest points. If you're dependant on mostly popular open source projects, you won't have to create and upload the files to a repository. For more information see http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html I'm not aware of any single setting to do what you want, but from the link above, there is a 'system' scope you can specify for the dependencies. It shouldn't be hard to write a quick-n-dirty script to loop over the contents of your lib directory and spit out the appropriate xml that you could paste into your pom. It's a one time only effort. From this point, I'd encourage you to search for your dependencies in the master maven repository and modify the scope away from 'system', but this could be done incrementally. Here's a handy search page to do so http://www.mvnregistry.com/ Greg Vaughn [EMAIL PROTECTED] goatwuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/24/2006 02:14 PM Please respond to Maven Users List users@maven.apache.org To users@maven.apache.org cc Subject RE: Maven Noobie - How can I just add a directory of jars to my classpat Hello, Thanks for the reply... the situation is that I am trying to load a project with 100 or so jar files that I need to include in the library...

I just need a quick and dirty way to compile this project THX adampp wrote: I'm new too, so just been through this, but no you don't. You create a pom.xml file, or have maven do it for you by using mvn archetype:create args... Then you add dependency xml frags that tell what libs your project depends on. Then when you do a mvn compile or related goal, maven will download all the deps for you. So an example dependency is dependency groupIdjunit/groupId artifactIdjunit/artifactId version3.8.1/version /dependency The big idea of maven is it gets rid of that ./lib directory. You can track down your dependencies at a www.ibiblio.org/maven2 and use google to help you out by googling for site:www.ibiblio.org maven2 junit. It will lead you to a directory with a junit-3.8.1.pom file that will tell you the info needed to craft your dependency rule. Hope this helps.

Re: Creating a common local repository.
That's a common situation. We have installed MavenProxy on a server in our company. This acts as a cache of artifacts from ibiblio, but also has a separate internal repository where we deploy artifacts that are not in ibiblio. My understanding is that MavenProxy is no longer being actively developed. Other tools I've heard mentioned as performing similar functions are Proximity and Archiva. I've not looked at those, but they're on my to-do list.

That fixed the problem and patched my local repository. However this leads sort an uncomfortable situation. If I have 15 developers on my team I now have to notify them to manually patch their repositories and answer their queries about how I broke the build. Not a tolerable situation. So what I'd like to do is this. I'd like to host a maven repository on our server (linux running apache and ssh). However I don't want it to be a full-blown rsynch'ed repository that mirrors www.ibiblio.org/maven2.

So when I come across this problem in the future, I can go out to that one shared, but local and minimal, repository do the mvn install:install-file and all our developers will see the change. Although I can find docs on how to accomplish the rsynch'ed full mirror repository model, I can't find much about how to have a local repository that can be shared. In terms of layout, our developers develop on windows supplemented by cygwin and the available server would be a linux box with apache web server and ssh. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: profiles.xml question
I'm by no means an expert on this. Your situation is much more complex
than the profile stuff I've used. I've not used a profiles.xml but instead
put them in the pom.xml. I suspect there's some sort of confusion between
the multiple files as well as setting activeProfile and
activeByDefault in different places.
There's one issue I do see, but it could be a typo. If you're using the
system property to activate the profile, you should use:
mvn -Denv=qa clean package -e
Note the equals sign instead of dash.
The other suggestion you got to use 'mvn help:active-profiles' is a good
one and helped me to debug some confusion I had.

Re: profiles.xml question
I'm glad to hear at least the -P approach is working for you. I understand your desire to encapsulate the default behavior inside a profile. It's something that didn't dawn on me when I implemented something similar. I just put my default behavior right in the relevant build section of the pom.xml. That gets executed in the common case of not specifying any profile. Then I have a profile that overrides those default setts.

First, you don't need to run mvn always and check the end results to make sure everything is alright. Just do: mvn help:active-profiles and it will list you all the profiles which will be used. In my case I could get profiles working in one of these ways: 1. add activeprofile to settings.xml activeProfiles activeProfiledefault/activeProfile /activeProfiles 2. specify profiles as param values as: profile idskipunittest/id properties maven.test.skiptrue/maven.test.skip /properties activation property nametest/name /property /activation /profile then call mvn help:active-profiles -Dtest or mvn install -Dtest etc.. Note that each property is a separate param as mvn help:active-profiles -Dtest -DtoProduction -Dmyapp where test, toProduction, myapp are different profiles I want to enable.

Re: profiles.xml question
I think I read that things get weird if you have a profile without an id
element. Try adding one to your uat profile. Then try both with your
activation property, but also by directly specifying the id with -P.

Re: clear separation of source and target
I've never tried configuring maven to put generated files outside of its default location, but this link http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-model/maven.html#class_build seems to imply it can by setting the builddirectory element. I have setup both cvs and svn to ignore certain directories. Either one should work for you, but I'd recommend the scm approach. The details will depend on which scm tool you use.

Re: Locating pom.xml in a parent directory?
I don't want to discourage you from requesting a new feature, but I
thought I'd throw my 2 cents in about workarounds. I have an external tool
setup in eclipse to run mvn from the project root directory. I don't
typically navigate my project's folder structure from a shell. I suspect
you're a text editor only type to be doing a lot of that navigation
(nothing wrong with that). If I were in your shoes, I'd probably just
locally modify my mvn bat or shell script to keep stepping up the
directory tree until it finds a pom.xml before actually executing. It'd be
nice to attach that modification to the feature request.

Re: Eclipse war builder
Kevin Galligan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 10/02/2006 02:11:49 PM: Just thought I'd send a little back to the community. I coded a simple eclipse builder plugin that helps speed up webapp development when using the war plugin. I'm sure there's something out there that does this already, but this works pretty well. If you edit and save a file in either the 'src/main/webapp' directory or a java class file, it copies the output to the exploaded war directory in 'target', so changes should be visible immediately rather than after running maven. Obviously, if you have plugins on your project, they won't get run. This really came out of a need to speed up jsp editing. The plugin will also listen to the output on the compiled classes directory, so editing java classes in 'src/main/java' will compile to 'target/classes', and from there be copied to the webapp exploded directory. The plugin also takes 'finalName' into account. However, it does not look into parent pom definitions, etc, so more tricky configurations are not taken into account. http://www.bigheadco.com/warplugineclipsebuilder Comments welcome. I tackled the same problem in a different manner recently. Are you familiar with the war:inplace goal? That does the reverse of your eclipse plugin. It copies the target/classes and lib dependencies from target into src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes and /lib. I added an ignore for those directories to my svn repository so they won't get checked in. Now just editing a jsp in eclipse and saving it allows tomcat to see the change. I got pulled into more backend development since then, so I didn't go the next step, but I considered modifying eclipse to use the WEB-INF/classes dir as the compile output folder instead of the default build/classes. With that in place, you should only need to run war:inplace if you add a new dependency. Also, I had to setup tomcat's context.xml for the app to be reloadable=true. Another nicety I added was to add those WEB-INF/classes and lib directories to the maven-clean-plugin so that mvn clean gets rid of them too. I haven't looked at your eclipse plugin in more detail, so I'm not sure of what extra features your solution may offer over mine, but I thought I'd throw mine out there for consideration.

Re: maven for repository
mbatth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 09/20/2006 12:09:01 PM: Hello, I am very new to maven, so please pardon my extremely newbie questions. I have a need for standardizing the common framework and components in my organization. So, i am thinking of managing the frameworks or componets via maven. When any team would require the common artifacts, they can install maven and connect to common repository. Is maven the right tool for this? Is it possible to track usage, such as number of downloads? Is there any security mechanism by which i can secure the repository? This can be done, though it is not a primary goal of maven itself. What you essentially need to do is supply a mirror of the central repository within your organization. This mirror can contain all of your approved libraries and nothing else. This will serve up the libraries via a web server you control, so you can secure it as you wish and track usage through the logs. In my organization we're looking into this in more detail. We're having our legal department approve some open source licenses, and of the eligible libraries, our architecture team will help make technical assessments of competing libraries to come up with our approved list. We also plan to have an experimental maven repository that will proxy the main ibiblio one (and others). This will allow developers to link to libraries that have not been approved yet (or newer versions of approved ones) to continue development while they are in review. Before we go to QA, we will ensure that a project can be built against just the repository of approved libraries. From an organizational standpoint, maven will also serve as our standard build process. We'll provide a common parent pom for our projects that will have customized org specific settings. We'll also have custom archetypes to help them get started on new projects. We'll also use the site reports to generate standard reports and metrics on the code, and a standard configuration for our continuous integration server. Maven is a great enabler for these organizational standards, but be aware, someone in your organization will have to learn maven well to get it configured for your needs, and the documentation is a bit scattered at this point.

Overriding plugin's default phase/goal associations
I'm trying to figure out if it is even possible to override a plugin's default phase/goal associations. I'm basically working on a war project. What I'd ultimately like to do is change what maven-war-plugin's goals are called during the package lifecycle under different profiles. Without a profile specified, I want to do a war:inplace because we have tomcat installed locally. Under the env-qa profile, I'd like the package lifecycle to do a war:war (and then additionally call tomcat:redeploy, but it's beyond the scope of my current question). When I look inside the maven-war-plugin.jar's plugin.xml file I see that it binds both it's war:exploded and war:war goals to the package lifecycle. I'd like to turn that off. Is it possible? Also, for additional consideration, do I need to do something different if I put this into a parent pom shared by multiple projects? Thanks for any help or pointers you could provide.
